Month: January 2015

If you didn’t know this by now, I’m somewhat of a Duke basketball fan. Don’t hold it against me, I know it’s one of my very few flaws. Regardless, Duke had a big day yesterday as Coach K earned his 1,000th career win. So, today, we celebrate. I’m giving you six exercises to choose from, and you have to get to 1,000 reps. It doesn’t matter what order you go in, or how many reps of each you do (minimum 50 each exercise). Just get to 1,000.

Squats

Lunges

Pushups

Leg Lifts

Situps

Mountain Climbers

Remember, minimum 50 reps each exercise. After that, I don’t care how many you do of each, just get to 1,000 total reps.

That is such a cool feeling, isn’t it?? You don’t always realize it when it happens. But, every once in a while you get those “aha” moments when you realize you just did something you didn’t think you could. As opposed to all the struggles and difficult workouts, those moments of accomplishment are the ones you need to hold on to. You’ll get a long just fine if that’s your approach.

Alright, its officially the first full week of 2015. Time to get back in the groove of things. But down the sweets and drinks and lets get back to business. What better way to get off the year than a themed workout??? It’s 2015, so let’s just use that as our theme, shall we??
